life is our health. So people say health is wealth but wealth cannot buy health. If the purpose of our life is to accumulate wealth at the expense of health then the time has come for us to use that wealth to restore our health.
In the Bible, leprosy is seen as a chronic, contagious disease. Progressively and slowly the sufferer will die of the disease and also die of isolation. The leper who approached Jesus because he was desperate and shouted, "Sir, if you want, you can cleanse me. Jesus is his last hope.
I want you to be clean. Jesus' answer was astonishing and the leper immediately left the sufferer.
With great compassion and love, Jesus came into the world to offer His healing touch. Jesus will change us from unclean to clean (clean), from sick to healthy again, from death to life, from the darkness of sin into a shining presence of God. Jesus came to heal us. The blood that poured out of His side has the power to heal us if we cry out like this leper.
We need not suffer from the wounds of hatred, anger and jealousy in life. We will be healed of such contagious sins as envy and slander. Fear and guilt need not control us. Jesus forgave us, offering peace and new life in Himself.
By putting on the garments of righteousness, we too can walk in the light of Christ. This is a true message of hope for all of us whom Jesus chose as His disciples.
